    Dear readers, so sorry for the lack of updates :)

    Nevertheless, i finally found the sequel to Comanche Moon, Comanche heart! I will start reading it soon and i will give you guys an in depth review once i am done reading it! For the first time this year, i am certainly excited to read a book!

    Right now, im reading His wicked ways by Samantha James another favourite author of mine, and im enjoying it!sj
    Im halfway through it and its exciting! Once im done with it, i will update you guys with a review! :)

    Update! Im done with the book and its fantastic!

    His wicked ways is basically a book written during the medieval time in Scotland where many still lives together as a clan. The story revolves around Cameron from the Clan Mackay and Meredith from the Clan Munro. Cameron wants to take revenge on Clan Munro as it was them who killed his family members and he was now the lone ranger of the clan. Parallel to Cameron, Meredith went to the nunnery to hide from her past. One fine night, Cameron came and abduct her so to sought revenge for his clan. Their fate entangles and he decides the he will only let her go if she sire him a son. However, a tricky desire for him inflames within her and his passionate love that lives in the depths of his heart.

    Personally, i enjoy this book tremendously as its something that i love. In simpler words, i love books with stories revolving around both are enemies, guy catch girl, make things very difficult for her, subsequently they fall in love and they live happily ever after. Thank god this book falls in this genre and i love it! However, i do not think that its a must read as compared to comanche moon as people who do not like the romance genre will certainly dislike this novel as compared to comanche moon which will be enjoyed by romance and non romance readers.

    i rate it 3.5 stars! :)

    My favorite book by Samantha James is The Truest Heart! A must read! :)

    The second installment for the Coulter family saga and the very book that i have been waiting for like forever. I will be an understatment that i enjoyed the book. Since it was so fantastic. I was abit of a skeptic when the heroine in the novel was wheelchair bound. But indeed, she made me believe that they are such guys out there and seriously, the magic that catherine anderson has is unbeatable. I bet you guys know who is my favourite author all time! :)

     This is another section that i've created so to recommend books that i think are deem worthy for avid romance readers out there. So here it goes

    Comanche Moon by Catherine Anderson



    i will come to you like a wind...I am your destiny.

    As many of you guys know i'm a huge fan of Catherine Anderson. I am always awed by her novels.So when friends and family members who wants to start reading sought my help (mainly females), i recommended them to start reading her novels first. Everyone started and was deeply intrigued by her novels, many were amazed that how such stories could be expressed so beautifully in words. They never stopped reading since.

    This novel was printed in 1991 and was out of print until recently. I didnt really understand why so many people wrote letters to Catherine Anderson seeking her to reissue the novel but after reading this, i finally understood the reason why. It is just purely amazing how this lady writes! A timeless love story that revolves about a man and woman were caught between two worlds. I love history. But yet i disliked reading books that are fully focused on it, it tends to make me feel sleepy. However, being a avid romance reader, i love romance novels that are written during important part of history (eg the war between the red Indians and whites) . Its like having two of my loves in a hobby which i loves! It also shows how knowledgeable the author is or how passionate she is in writing the book. Its sheer hard work digging the history out and writing it in the novel that fits perfectly into the storyline so readers wont feel that its "forced" into it. Writing a romance novel is hard enough, imagine writing one with history in it. Kudos for authors who are doing that!

    Comanche Moon is one such great book. Though i'm a history bluff, i didnt really get to know the native american's history until i started reading Cassie Edwards. She is another fine example of a great romance author that adds history in the romances however, many have derided her for directly copy and paste from native american information website and adding into her novel. Before reading Comanche moon, i hadnt really cared since i enjoyed her novels tremendously and finally knowing how the native American had suffered. I was wrong. Cassie Edwards novels are basically wavering around the water whereas for Catherine Anderson's native american novel it took a huge dive at their history, way of speech,mannerism, clothing and their struggles. It only shows how good she is and how much you guys must get your hands on this book.

    Catherine Anderson is a masterful storyteller, it was so amazing that i read it from the start to the end, relishing all the raw emotions and history. It captures your heart once you start reading it and trust me you guys will thank me for it. Haha. Right now i'm just scrambling websites to find the sequel Comanche Heart. I need to get my hands on that book.

    Enjoy!

  • I've got a huge fetish for romances. Eg Romantic comedy, historical romances, etc. That's basically why this whole blog is all about. I was listening to the radio sometime ago, and i heard this fantastic song. Since, i'm a lyrics person, whenever the lyrics tells a story, i'm on it. Ha. This time, its a dream come through! Romeo And Juliet. I bet you guys know what it is all about. Yup. Taylor Swift's Love Story. And that the music video was nicely made. All the props and clothes wore were totally in the historical mode. So, it got me. Hahaha. Watch the video, the clothes and the setting are great and looks real. The clothes that Taylor had on was beautiful! :D
